Read the exact wording

Product of Canada and Made in Canada carry published thresholds; other wording such as Canadian company or designed in Canada does not — see what Made in Canada means.

Look for a dated, independent check

A checked listing shows a review date and the product line covered; an unchecked or self-declared claim is still the manufacturer's own word.
